Default So-Cal people, Looking for a shop

Does anyone know of a so-cal shop that does motor swaps? I'm guessin they should be a bit cheaper here in so-cal then back home in northern cali. I'm considering doing an h22a swap into my 5gen accord. Not really trying to spend more then 700 bucks or so for the labor for swap. Does anyone in so-cal know the average ballpark price for an engine swap? i.e. b16, b18. etc.

I had an h22a in my 4gen accord. It got wrecked and I never had time to do the swap into my 5gen. I am debating if i should do it into my 5gen since i cant seem to sell the engine, and its just sitting there.

Honestly diew, I'd find a motor suitable chassis (less miles, less beatup) and do the swap into it.

I'm sure you could find a 5th gen with a blown motor. It just doesn't seem worth it as you've described on AIM.

Or save the money towards the M3 you want.

Yea i know...but i'm thinkin that the engine is just sittin at home. It seems hard to sell it. And yea...grr, i figured i might as well try and enjoy the h22a for a bit untill i have enough for the m3, which will be a while from now. but yea still not sure what to do. It does seem like a bad idea because the chassis has alot of miles on it and is beat up....:happysad:
